FAQs

What pigment is Pyrrole Red?+
It is made with PR254, a single organic pyrrole pigment, rated ASTM I.
How do I mix terracotta?+
Add a touch of Burnt Umber or Burnt Sienna to Pyrrole Red, then lighten with a little Titanium White if needed.
Can I mix it with other acrylic colours?+
Yes. Acrylic colours can be mixed freely with each other and with acrylic mediums to adjust colour, flow, gloss and texture.
How do I keep acrylic paint fresh in a jar?+
Scoop out only what you need with a clean palette knife, wipe the rim and close the lid tightly. This keeps air out and stops the paint skinning over.

Durable acrylic films combined with stable artist pigments help ensure artworks retain their true colour balance and integrity for years under normal display conditions.

Really good colour

I ordered the three primary colours and black and white for a children’s workshop. Lovely colour coverage and creamy consistency.
